I believe Dropbox is the most popular, eventhough they are the most expensive. What is the reason behind that?

i ve been using skydrive and found it quite convenient and user friendly as compared to google drive, and for some odd reason they gave me 25 gb free space

I am only using dropbox at the moment. Its been really useful for me all the times. :)
Plus, I have 61.35 Gb space which is way more than enough. I got 50Gb when I bought Samsung Galaxy S3, the rest is achieved through different tack ticks.

dropbox is the best due to sharing link it can create

Thanks for sharing this info. It is good to see the comparison.

I think platform/ecosystem integration is the only place where Dropbox might lack. every other option has a very tight integration with one of the mobile ecosystem.
Another notable mention can be box. there offerings are also very good.
